Students in year 8 and 9 at Ridgeway School were treated to a special Growth Mind-set Star Wars themed assembly recently in celebration of Star Wars Day.

Special guest star was Darth Poveda, otherwise known as Head of Post 16, Martin Poveda.

“The message to the students was clear, “said Jim Strachan, Head of Academic Progress for Years 8 & 9 “Be one with the force and have a growth mind-set.”

The principals of growth mind-set are that intelligence can be developed through embracing challenges, persisting in the face of setbacks, seeing effort as the path to mastery, learning from criticism and finding lessons and inspiration in the success of others.

“I used analogies of where this occurs in Star Wars to remind the students that by having the right mind-set you can overcome any obstacle,” said Jim Strachan.
